Duplex Lite Clone

Made a 26” version last night. It went a lot smoother with the points taken from @WoodBow
Need to cut some longer arrow stays for this one and try it out. Ended up using a piece of surf rod blank I had for the tie/handle between the top of the frame sheet.

I think for my carry handle I sewed 2 pieces of 1" webbing together, to form a tube, and then forced 2 carbon arrow shafts into it. Very snug fit. I think i tried tubular webbing first but it was a baggier fit.
 
A 1/2" OD piece of aluminum tubing would fit very snug in two pieces of 1" sewed together. I think I'd do that, or go with 3/8" and sew tighter, or fiberglass, or carbon I guess. It's such a short length I don't think it's worth going after spendy carbon when aluminum or fiberglass would work.

Broken arrows are free. My favorite price!

That piece is a piece of 2” that I sewed together and then flipped inside out and put the carbon surf rod blank in it. Was just a drop from a rod I made so didn’t cost anything. Gotta make another 24” for my hunting buddy and going to try arrow shafts from the junk pile.
 
3rd one is done. This one turned out pretty clean. Should be it for packs for now, package came today from dutchware, I am going to try to make a tarp similar to dst
